Venues and Times

Zizzi, 31 Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow, G1 3AJ. Zizzi's is just a 5 minute walk from both the Queen Street and the Central Rail Stations.

Located right in the heart of Royal Exchange Square, is Zizzi. The restaurant makes the most of the building's stunning historical architecture to create a must visit destination for eating out in Glasgow. Paintings by local Scottish artists feature throughout the restaurant.

All our tastings are hosted in the private area upstairs, away from the restaurant, but the location means that it is a great place to have dinner prior to the tasting, or to linger with new friends after the tasting and have a bite to eat. As an added bonus, any diners on the evening of the tastings will get a 25% discount on their meal.

The restaurant boasts the first in house Zizzi bar where you will be able to choose from an extensive selection of wines and a sophisticated cocktail menu. To complete the experience you will be able to watch as your food is freshly prepared in the open air kitchens in authentic wood-stone ovens.

The Italian restaurant serves tasty, authentic dishes from pizza, pasta and risotto to salads and indulgent desserts – all in a uniquely designed restaurant. The Italian menu also includes Vegan and Vegetarian options.
